It’s important to get your property in front of as many people and agents as possible, that’s why I list your property not only in the Knox County MLS, but also in the Columbus/Central Ohio MLS and MLSNOW reaching thousands of real estate buyer agents, PLUS, dozens of internet sites & social networking portals.

Much of my training has been “in the trenches” working with and being mentored by some of the best Realtors® in the business. Beyond my “real world” training, I have the following Real Estate Designations;
ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative) – The ABR is the benchmark of excellence in Realtor buyer representation. This coveted designation is awarded to real estate practitioners by the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) of the National Association of Realtors. ABR designees must meet specified educational and practical experience criteria set forth by REBAC. Less than 8% of Realtors nationwide have completed the required educational and experience requirements of REBAC and received their ABR Designation.
e-PRO® Certified – The e-PRO certification is the official technology certification program awarded by the National Association of Realtors. Real estate professional obtaining the e-PRO certification have dedicated time and effort toward mastering the latest internet and social media technologies in order to create an online presence to reach today’s hyper-connected consumers.
As a Real Estate Professional I am a member of the following organizations:
- Real Estate Buyer’s Agency Council
- National Association of Realtors®
- Ohio Association of Realtors®
- Knox County Board of Realtors® (Former Director)
- Columbus Board of Realtors®
Prior to real estate my career was centered around technology automating processes for some of the largest financial institutions in the country. This not only required designing and developing software but more importantly in managing and documenting projects to insure that all bases were covered in order to meet designated timelines. Probably the most important skill was in working directly with clients and the ability of using non technical jargon to not only identify and prioritize functional requirements, but in also designing the most productive and user friendly interface in order to maximize efficiency and success.
The ability to define requirements, attention to detail, the ability to meet deadlines and interacting with clients all contributed to my success during 30+ years working in technology. These same skills transfer to real estate. Whether you are buying or selling real estate, complete and proper documentation is critical to protect your interests and to insure the transaction proceeds as smoothly and timely as possible. It’s my job to make certain you are comfortable with and understand all the documents you are signing, after all, this is most likely the biggest purchase you will ever make.
When you are purchasing a home it’s important that we work together and that I understand those features of a home that are most important to you. I know how valuable your time is and want to present you with only those homes that meet your needs.
My marketing works! When selling your home you can count on your home being marketed to a wide range of audiences. In 2022 45% of home sales in Knox County were to buyers represented by out of town agents, that’s why I’m a member of multiple MLS systems. This way your home will be presented to thousands more agents than just listing in the Knox MLS. Your home will also be listed on the most popular real estate websites such as Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia and more, that along with presenting through print and social media provides you with maximum online and print exposure.
As a former Traffic Commission member and active church member I believe it’s important to serve others.

I have also written for a number of technology related periodicals and author of “Fearful To Fearless“. I maintain a number of faith based websites and founder of Koozzz Publishing.
